A 1980s two-story near Green Knolls, a typical kitchen for Buffalo Grove. The kitchen as it was: 12-inch beige ceramic tile. The main complaint was cracked tiles and grout that wouldn't come clean. After: hickory luxury vinyl plank flooring through the kitchen with clean transitions.

Before
AfterBefore and after: a two-story colonial from the 1990s in Buffalo Grove
This one is a two-story colonial from the 1990s near Windfield. Before: golden-oak cabinets with oak soffits above, white Corian-style solid surface with a yellowed seam and black appliances. What bothered the owners most: a cramped layout with nowhere to prep. The result: a new layout with an island, cabinets in light warm taupe, warm walnut butcher block counters and recessed lights and under-cabinet LED strips.

The site: a two-story colonial from the 1990s near Green Knolls. Before: honey-oak cathedral raised-panel cabinets with worn finish near the handles, brass knobs. The reason for the call: orange-looking wood that made the room feel old. Finished kitchen: the same doors sprayed in creamy white uppers and navy lowers, new satin brass pulls; counters and floor stayed as they were.
